Washington D.C. temperature market FAQ

Which weather station settles the Washington D.C. temperature markets?

Kalshi, Robinhood and IBKR markets use Ronald Reagan Washington National (KDCA).

How do the Washington D.C. temperature markets settle?

Kalshi settles Washington D.C. high and low markets on the official high or low for KDCA's NWS climate location, as reported by The Weather Company (then the National Weather Service). Robinhood and IBKR list ForecastEx Washington D.C. temperature contracts, which settle on the Weather Underground Daily Observations table for KDCA: the highest reading of the local calendar day for highs and the lowest for lows. The day is final once Weather Underground publishes the first observation of the next day.

What are the Kalshi and Robinhood tickers for Washington D.C. temperature?

Kalshi lists the Washington D.C. daily high under series KXHIGHTDC and the daily low under KXLOWTDC. Each day is its own event, such as KXHIGHTDC-26OCT16 for October 16, 2026, with one market per strike. On Robinhood and IBKR, the ForecastEx Washington D.C. daily high is UHDCA and the daily low ULDCA. Each contract is one strike on one day: UHDCA_101626_80 asks whether the high exceeds 80 °F on October 16, 2026, and ULDCA contracts ask whether the low is below a strike.

What are UHDCA and ULDCA?

They are the ForecastEx daily high and low temperature products for Washington D.C., listed on Robinhood and IBKR. ForecastEx, not Kalshi, is the exchange. UHDCA contracts ask whether the day's highest temperature at Ronald Reagan Washington National (KDCA) will exceed a strike, and ULDCA contracts whether the lowest will be below one, with strikes 1 °F apart. Both settle on Weather Underground's Daily Observations table for KDCA for the local calendar day. Kalshi's Washington D.C. markets read the same station but settle on the official high or low for its NWS climate location as reported by The Weather Company, not on Weather Underground.

Can I trade Washington D.C. temperature markets on Coinbase?

Yes. Coinbase lists Kalshi's Washington D.C. temperature markets (KXHIGHTDC, KXLOWTDC) under the same tickers: the markets are operated by Kalshi, share Kalshi's order book and settle by Kalshi's rules, on the same station.
